[NOTE]
> Using the VA models is highly advisable due to their feature of hiding body and legs parts. However, it should be normally working with the enhanced mares as well (you can play around with body sliders to remove clipping parts off sight or simply hide them later in graphics editor). For ENH males you can try changing the model size a bit or play with the camera angle to hide clipping.
> Hip plates has their own bone "Left\RightPad" allowing you to change their position and make corrections of their movement.

So here it is, my "side project" I was mentioning, which devoured literally all my attention related to SFM stuff. It took about a month in total to make and was a sort of self-challenge.
You could say the idea was inspired by this version of the costume made by ItzSpecky, because when I saw it, I wondered if I could make the pony HEV suit that would look more like the actual HL versions. (I've been mostly inspired by the Black Mesa one). And so you can answer the question of whether I achieved that by looking at the finished version yourself. Hope you'll enjoy it just as I did!
Thanks to all my friends for the emotional support — it was pain in the ass at times.
Huge thanks to for an amazing job with rigging it!
And special thanks to — you know what for, pal!
